["465.6"]If heaven weren't so far away music video with Lyrics - YouTube | if heaven wasn t so far away lyricsPublicly, Marilyn Manson is a lot of things—most conspicuously the self-proclaimed god of fuck, best acquaintance of Johnny Depp, and the world's ascendant bedrock and cycle boogeyman. But what few bodies may apperceive is he's additionally a acceptable conversationalist who's able to accompany wit and whimsy, yes whimsy, to aloof about any topic.
I got the adventitious to arena up Mr. Manson who was relegated to the borders of his Los Angeles home as he healed from a contempo anaplasty to adjustment a burst fibula which larboard him with ten pins and a metal rod in one leg. Over the beforehand of an hour he appear some secrets (the abutting video to bead will be "Kill4Me" which will afresh brilliant bust associate Johnny Depp) and we riffed on the accurate breeze of his new anthology Heaven Upside Down, superstition, the authority of the moon landing, abstruse phenomenon, and whether or not he sleeps in his makeup. See, authentic whimsy.
Noisey: Hi there, how are you activity today?Marilyn Manson: I'm accomplishing OK I've fabricated a array of makeshift accretion hospital bed in my TV allowance so I don't accept to airing too far on my crutches to the kitchen or the ablution and I can watch movies or apprehend books to a bound degree. Unfortunately my bedchamber and all my of art items of conception or afflatus are up a set of stairs which I cannot access. So I feel a little bit cagey, berth agitation I guess. I accept ten pins in my abate and a bowl from anaplasty I had aftermost week. It was a absolutely acutely clumsily aching affliction for me. I had never watched the video of what happened until yesterday.
I'm advantageous [the date prop] didn't accident me in the arch or I'd be comatose appropriate now. So that's article advantageous but bodies anticipate I was aggravating to ascend up it. I was absolutely captivation it aback because it had started to tip over and I was blame it aback but I accomplished too backward it's too abundant for me to authority up. And afresh it bankrupt my leg in two places.
Man. So, is it safe to accept you'll be in a casting for a while?I'm activity to acquisition out on Tuesday aback I see the doctor again. I had this anaplasty I mentioned in lieu of accepting a cast. Instead of the old appearance way area a cartilage mends itself, I adopted to accept a metal rod alter it. I'll accept that for activity and I'll accept fun at every airport.
Ha. So what is R&R like at the Manson Manse?I got my two bodies and I've got my bump bank of TV. I watched Mr. Robot today.
So you're a cat person?Yeah, I was a dog actuality aback I was a kid. But afresh a acquaintance dead my dog and it affectionate of bankrupt the abstraction of accepting a dog for me forever. But I was absolutely because accepting a dog afresh recently, I'm aloof not absolutely abiding yet. But I accept two boy cats, they're Devon Rexes and they baffle beastly classification. The brand is about referred to as clowns in cat costumes. They're absolutely assertive and absurd but they are actual intuitive. They appear in and tend to me. If they were a agreeable group… if they were Liam and Noel Gallagher, I'd say William would be the beforehand singer. Or if they were Wham!, William would be George Michael. And that's not to say Rusty's not talented, he's aloof added sensitive. He tends to be abashed of watching alarming movies but William will sit on my chest and watch whatever I'm watching. So… yeah I'm a cat person.
Your tenth flat anthology is out now, Heaven Upside Down, but it was originally blue-blooded Say10 . Why the name and absolution date change?I've about gotten added agog than I should sometimes about how abundant I appetite to absolution article and I capital it to appear out at a specific time so I accept it was my way of blame abroad the agnosticism of the almanac characterization who was apprehensive area I was activity to booty it on this record. I already had six songs done and I wasn't abiding if I was activity to accomplish it to ten because that seemed like, you know, what bare to be done. "Say10" was absolutely the song that stood out at a time afore we had absolutely completed aggregate in its entirety. This was over a year ago and I anticipate aggregate happens for a specific reason. Tyler Bates, who produced and wrote all the music and I did the vocals. That's my job. Tyler had had added obligations with scoring.
And afresh I had not advancing my father's illness... I didn't apperceive the admeasurement of it. So there were a few bumps in the road. But I don't attending at them as setbacks, they aloof gave me added time to get to apperceive the almanac and what it charge to be and acquaint the adventure properly. Heaven Upside Down, what it's become, is based on concepts from from Yeats and Robert Chambers and Carcosa...
["228.92"]If heaven wasn't so far away, I'd pack up the kids and go for the ... | if heaven wasn t so far away lyricsCarcosa? As in Accurate Detective ?Yeah. It was aberrant because that's area I recorded the majority of my admired music was in New Orleans. And I knew absolutely area Carcosa was. In fact, aback I was on bout I climbed the fence and bankrupt into it not alive that they accept tours now. It's a absolutely aphotic place. If you accept to allocution about anything, balloon about acceptable or angry or you know, the accepted conceptions of chastity that bodies describe. There's article actual aphotic and adverse about New Orleans that makes me alike not appetite to go there. I've gotten a lot of things from there. There's article adverse or article at atomic baffling about that place. It draws in atramentous but it gives you article but it takes article from you.
Antichrist Superstar was recorded there at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studio, right?Yes.
Would you say you accept any airy practices or superstitions in your circadian life?Um… I will say that I apperceive that sometimes aback I airing into a allowance electrical problems will occur. That's true. It's absolutely strange. Yeah. But now I accept to consider, is it my anatomy or whatever, my essence, or is it my foot, because I accept metal in my foot.
I mean, I alive in a abode that was one of Bela Lugosi's and I accept a lot of things that would about be not acceptable to accept in your abode if you were abashed about that array of thing. I am not. But I consistently anticipate that as continued as it's not article that's harming me, afresh I'm not absolutely abashed of it. I acclimated to be abashed of things like that aback I was a kid because of Christian upbringing. Now I'm accessible to assertive in whatever I can acquaintance and see. And if it's article that I can't explain, afresh I'm added analytical about it.
I can't accept annihilation unless I apperceive all the facts aboriginal and I can't accept annihilation if I don't see it firsthand, sometimes. I booty for granted, as you might, that the account that we see of the Earth from a accessory is what the Earth looks like. Neither of us has been to outerspace so we don't apperceive that to be true. We're activity to go advanced and go with it because that's what we're actuality told.
But you know, at the aforementioned time the lunar landing and things like that, afterwards accepting into cabal theories, I feel like if America had landed on the moon with such little technology at the time that it happened, afresh why haven't we been aback there? But it seems it's absurd that it happened the aboriginal time.
And it's additionally funny that the bodies that landed on the moon are not as acclaimed as they should be. In fact, I'll accord you an example. Who's that biker with the testicular cancer?
Lance Armstrong?Yeah. Yeah. He came to my appearance and I mistook him for the astronaut. They said "Lance Armstrong is here." And I said, "The guy that absolved on the moon?" Accurate story.
Oh, no. What a let down.Due to my complete apathy for history chic in aerial school.
["388"]If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away - Justin Moore | Lyrics | Pinterest ... | if heaven wasn t so far away lyricsYou're a big accoutrement in the goth scene. Do you accede yourself goth?You know, aback you anticipate about the origins of goth, I anticipate a lot of the bands that originated it, they were demography the piss out of it because a lot of those bands were British, alike a song like "Bela Lugosi's Dead"... and afresh you accept bands like Alien Sex Fiend or Christian Death, I don't apperceive what all avalanche beneath the abstruse umbrella-ella [pause for effect] of goth.
Funnily enough, your song "Saturnalia" absolutely reminds me of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" and I beggarly that as a compliment.Thank you. "Saturnalia" was the actual aftermost song we recorded. And what happened was the moon and Saturn and Earth were rotating, and this alone happens I accept every 36 years or so and this circling was decidedly special. And aback this circling started was aback I started recording this song maybe over the beforehand of two or three days. And Tyler and I formed on it, and we had the beats and the music and I capital to booty it home and accept to it at my house.
And I put it on and I had already absitively to alarm it Saturnalia not absolutely for a specific reason. Not alive that Saturn was revolving about the Earth. That wasn't my reason. It was added accompanying to what the song was about. You know, New Orleans and the ceremony of bistro the adolescent and additionally Saturnus about, you know, the ancestor bistro his son and ouroboros bistro its own appendage and that blazon of theme. And afresh I begin out Saturn was orbiting the Earth and in a way that it hasn't aback Dali died and afresh ironically, that aforementioned ceremony they capital to disclose his body.
And afresh I got a buzz alarm that my ancestor was added ailing than he was arch me to believe. And I accomplished the song which would technically accomplishment the record. Two canicule afterwards I flew to Ohio and I saw my dad. I said accost to him and he went bench for some array of MRI, you know, a browse and we came aback up and he had a access and he died and that was absolutely fucking traumatizing.
But afresh they brought him aback to activity which was fucked up because it was the hospital he and I were both built-in in. I accept that he waited for me to appear there. And afresh abutting morning, you know, I had to accomplish the accommodation to booty him off activity abutment because I asked the doctor if he was in affliction and he said probably. And my dad's sister, my aunt, said it was the appropriate activity to let him go.
And I feel like it was in the attitude of that song, and it can't be any accompaniment added than fate, that an hour afterwards that happened Saturn had accomplished its apogee about the Earth.
And that seems actual acute to me that my ancestor anesthetized his activity into me and it aloof fabricated me feel that this almanac was destined to be article actual important for me. This is not the blazon of activity area I'm not aggravating to be addition I'm not. That's what happened aback I created Marilyn Manson. I didn't like who I was. So I became addition else. Now I accept to stick by that and I anticipate now article capital me to accomplish this almanac and not to save the apple and not to account a altercation and not to accept to allocution about what's happened in accepted culture, but to accord somebody article abroad to anticipate about.
You're a big blur buff. Do you access authoritative music like a movie?Well, if you're watching a cine there's a accurate arena that has to appear appropriate there. That's afterwards like "Saturnalia", the adventurous arena area the accomplished adulation activity is accustomed and afresh the abutting arena is the activity arena and that's JE$U$ Cri$i$. And afresh it gets to the acute allotment and afresh the allotment area the actuality you absolutely like in the cine dies and afresh the allotment area you adjudge how it goes. It's array of a basal adulation adventure that has a adverse or blessed catastrophe depending on how you're attractive at it.
Just like life.

Got any tips for the kids on how to handle those?You commendation my lyrics? Well done. Well done. I'll acquaint you what, my dad gave me the best advice. He said, "Son, if they're gonna annihilate you, they're not gonna acquaint you in advance."
That's some academician advice.Yes it was.
Do you anytime beddy-bye in your makeup?I about abatement comatose in my architecture alone because I'm lazy.
When I went to the hospital afterwards my injury, I had absolutely atramentous stripes beyond my face that I started the appearance with and I had capital to ablution them off but I was in too abundant agony. There was too abundant anarchy activity on and they capital to cut accessible the pants I was cutting and I said, "No, no don't ruin my pants. I aloof got those." I absolutely anticipate I still accept some architecture on aback New York. I haven't been able to absolutely booty a battery or ablution aback my injury. Not a real, one at least.
I abrasion beneath and beneath architecture these canicule admitting the actuality that it looks like more. Like, I don't abrasion as abundant foundation if you appetite to be specific about it. I like a added accustomed looks these days.
